LATEST BLOG RENTER

Check out my newest blog renter, 3rd Times A Charm. Her site, Stumbling Through Life With Grace, is a personal diary of “a psychologically, analytical, neurotic, closet bitch” (I didn’t say that!). A journey and babble of a mother of three, this is one good example that mommy blogs are not a bore to read (and apparently, my humor appeals to mommy bloggers, thank you!). So after you had your fill with my random lives, why don’t you check her site as well? Just click on the screenshot at the sidebar.

REGINE BOOSTS PINOY TOURISM

Pinoy Diva Regine Velasquez has recently launched another stunning campaign on Philippine Tourism. This TV commercial tie-up of Smart Communications and Department of Tourism featured tourist sites even I haven’t heard of. Who would have thought the Philippines is beyond Boracay and Siargao?

Every time I watch this on TV, I couldn’t help but sing in her effortless falsetto rendition…

“Let’s have fun, Let’s travelKnow even moreOf the differenceThat is Philippines…”

THE JEWEL PREVIEW

Due to insistent fan demand (I love my readers), I am posting an excerpt of “Si Jewel At Ang Kanyang Dalawang…” play. Apologies to my non-Filipino readers, but the script is a mixture of English and Tagalog. This scene features Jewel’s entities arguing over Jewel’s crush Edward.JEWEL: Ano nga pala nakita mo kay Lita?

1) Until now, I do wish that the killer of my friend Larra be caught. It seems that the investigators are having a hard time catching the culprits because Larra was a secretive fellow. But I could feel that the killers will have their end. And if that happens, I’ll throw out a party.

Marti(10:52:34) :

Lost my internet connection, I meant to also say that the best way to deal with angry people (like blog haters) is to either just ignore them, or be extremely polite. The world is full of angry people, and they are always looking for someone to vent on. You’re a sweet, charming and intelligent person. Don’t let them get to you…if anything feel sorry for them because they are so filled with acid and bile.

I’m a journalist, and I blog and publish under my real name. That makes me a bit of a target fo crazy people. Moderation really helps, because I never have to worry about my site being hijacked by evildoers.

Hello fellow Pinoy. Just surfed in and found your site. I’m so sorry to hear about your friend. I’ve lost 2 really good friends to senseless killings also. I will pray that justice be served to your friend’s killers…

MARTI — It feels so sad to hear two consecutive bad news about the Philippines in a month. I feel so sorry for the victims of the landslide down south. Thanks for the kind words.

JEAN-LUC PICARD — I sure hope so.

NIKKI-ANN — Thanks a lot. Your site is nice by the way!

VIAMARIE — My friend died six months ago and until now I can’t go to places where we frequent because the “killers” might see me, after hearing an investigation that her killers are within her area of residence.

TALAMASCA — Thanks for the kind words! It’s basically about what battles a gay guy undergoes, both in society and self. I’m still perfecting the script, though, particularly in grammar.

RIBBITICUS — Apparently, DOT is using a multi-prong approach in promoting Philippine tourism. Regine is promoting domestic tourism, while Taiwan, Korea, and Japan have their own celebrity endorsers for the Philippines. I realized that arguing will get you nowhere. Haters will STILL hate you, so yeah, ignoring them is the best option.

MANDZ — Yup, she’s still hot, but her lovelife isn’t that “hot” lately. Oooh, how I would love to type things I’ve heard, but I might get sued for libel.

MIKHAEL — Will listen to your podcast once I get access to a faster connection, perhaps this weekend. 🙂
